How does it work?

Simple, Flexible, and Reliable

At Gearshop Hire, we make renting outdoor gear easy and stress-free — so you can focus on the adventure ahead.

✔️ Book your gear online for the dates you need — and that’s all you pay for! Whether it's a weekend escape or a week-long mission, you only pay for your actual hire dates, not for any time the gear spends in transit.

✔️ Pay securely when you book, including a fully refundable $50 security bond*. This bond is simply there to help us keep our gear in top condition for you and the next adventurer. Once your gear is returned in good shape, we’ll refund your bond straight away — no stress.

Two Easy Options for Pickup or Delivery

1. Pick up and drop off in-store (Nelson):
If you're local or passing through, you’re welcome to collect and return your gear directly from our Nelson store — and meet our friendly team of outdoor specialists while you’re at it!

2. Nationwide courier delivery and return:
No matter where you are in New Zealand, we’ll courier your gear out to you ahead of time, so you have everything before your hire period starts. Please note that when using the courier option, there is a minimum of 3 days from ordering to the start of your hire to allow for processing and delivery. 

When you’re done, just pack it back up using the pre-paid return courier ticket we provide, and call the courier for an easy pickup — simple as that!

✔️ You only pay for the days you’re using the gear — not for any days it's in transit.

We all love exploring the outdoors, and with that comes a responsibility to care for the wild places we enjoy. Our hire hammocks are chosen with both comfort and environmental impact in mind.

By default, this hire includes the DD Hammocks Recycled Frontline Hammock. If this specific model is unavailable for your hire period, we may supply a comparable premium camping hammock with equivalent features and performance.

Sustainable comfort & protection

The included hammock is designed to be bug-proof, breathable, and highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and seasons. The main hammock body is constructed using recycled materials, helping reduce single-use plastic waste while still delivering durability and comfort suitable for serious outdoor use.

A double-layer base allows airflow in warm conditions, while also enabling a partially inflated sleeping mat to be inserted between layers for added insulation when temperatures drop.

An integrated fine-mesh mosquito net provides reliable protection from insects, including very small biting insects, making this an excellent year-round option. When insect protection isn’t required, the net can be rolled away or the hammock can be configured as an open design for unobstructed views of your surroundings.

Simple setup, practical features

The hammock comes ready to use straight out of the bag, with pre-fitted suspension webbing for fast and easy setup. Lightweight spreader poles and elastic cords hold the mosquito net away from the body, creating a spacious and comfortable interior.

Multiple internal pockets and attachment points make it easy to store small valuables or hang accessories, while reinforced tabs allow for pegging out gear or attaching insulation accessories in colder conditions.

If needed, we’re happy to accept returns until 10am the next morning, as long as the store is open then. If you need to return your rental to a different store, please let us know ahead of time so we can arrange to relocate the gear and get it ready for the next customer. Late fees will apply if not returned on time.
